Did you create this iso or did you download it?

If you downloaded it did you check the md5 sum? If the md5 sum is wrong then the iso is corrupt, no matter what size it is and what size CD you can find. If it is right and you got it from a good source then your iso is simply not as large as you think it is.

There was someone a few months ago that kept insisting that his ISO was also too large. He was using some very strange burning software used by warez people to break copy protection. He kept ignoring my questions about checking the md5 checksum and insisting that the ISO was too large. Once he finally was talked into checking the md5 we found that the iso was exactly correct and under 700 meg in size, but he never responded again to explain why there was any confusion about the ISO file size.
